Remember back during the campaign when Obama didn’t quite get the concept of the national anthem (bottom photo)? Based on recent Veterans Day ceremonies (top photo), he still doesn’t.
Maybe things would have been different if they’d been playing the Kenyan national anthem.

Libs and Conservatives. You are all arguing in the wrong box. Wake up an stop being a media led dumb ass. While your arguing about dumb crap. The one worlders are setting us up for a fall. Go beyond the trivial. Rockefeller and Zbignu Brizinski non patriot Globalist have been grooming Obama since the 70's to be a world dictator. Look up the research or lose your country. He's not for the Dem's he's not for the Lib's he's not for America it is a set up. He's not even doing jack for the African American. He's setting us up for a fall to merge us with a global community. Tea-Party his socialist [Hitleresque] ideology out. Or you will be facing a change none of us want.
The REAL disrespect here is the singing. That was the worst singing of the National Anthem that I have ever heard. Why doesn't anyone sing it normally anymore? It's a disgrace.
The reason President Obama is not saluting in the photo is because at the moment the photo in question was taken, the US Air Force band was playing "Hail to the Chief" -- so, if Obama had saluted at that moment, he would have been saluting himself!
The CSPAN video is proof. Skip to the 11:30 mark and you'll see that what I'm saying is correct.

By the way, the photo in question was taken at Arlington National Cemetery on 25 May 2009, not at Ft. Hood, Texas, on 11 November 2009, as some claim.
Jon's right. He's the troll. But he didn't need to tell anyone - the tasteless all caps with the exclamation point 'DEAD!' on Reagan's face gave it away. Stay classy.
Who in THE HELL was that "singing"? WTF?
Jon, you are hilarious. Nice tough guy pose in the pic. You are completely inferior to me in every way. I am confident of that fact. I don't have to persuade you or anyone else of that. 40 years old and you come across as a teenager. I pray for our meeting in the streets, I'll be the one with your brain matter on my steel toes. Toodles pinko!
Steel toes, who are you kidding, we both know you'll be in stilettos. And I'll know exactly what color and size because if you've been down through there as much as I have you'd know I'm gonna watch your feet the whole time. I know everything your doing by how you move your feet, keep the head down, eyes on the feet and peice you up baby. Of course it will seem like amazing luck to you but it's not. It's experience.
I myself will be sporting light running shoes, probably nike slip ons. Helps keep the step quick and light.
Good night and good luck with your dialysis.
Jon, the troll that wouldnt leave...
Yeah, you know I've been on Huffington Post and the liberals who couldn't argue the issues would call the conservative posters "trolls". So apperantly, people like you are on both sides of the isle. You can't argue the issue so you call someone a troll. You didn't even go out and get your own name.
P.S. the guy I was responding to was talking about kicking peoples brains out in some fantasy street war he imagines will happen at some point in America's future. But I'm the troll.
The company you keep.
Wow Jon for such a smart communist you sure are gullible. BTW the word "American" has a capital A. Freudian slip perhaps? Go ahead and say it. You hate America. Never really accomplishing anything in life you prefer to blame others for your failures and harbor hate for those who have succeeded. When you address others in a civilized discourse as "boy", you forfeit given respect. You mirror every liberal I have ever met. Your "I know everything" attitude is off putting and childish. Get back to the DU where I am sure you are a hit among the teenage liberal girls. I look forward to fighting you in the streets when the fecal matter makes contact with the fan.
O.k. I've addressed this before but I'll cover it again, I overlook typos because I'm not writing a thesis. Others on here are far worse than me, look around and see where I could have easily corrected them but stuck to the issue. Also, understand that at any time I am having three or four arguments at once across several articles on this site with any number of light weights like yourself.
I don't hate America (see capital A that proves my patriotism) I have my father's war medals proudly displayed in a shadowbox on the wall right above my monitor. I stand for the national anthem, and support our troops. I was very excited when Obama signed the new G.I. Bill into law because I thought "finaly, now that the Democrats are in charge the soldiers will get more than lip service". But of course, I don't have to prove any of this to you boy. By the way, other than that "boy" right there I don't think I have referred to any one as boy. I may have said "boy, are you stupid" but that's not calling someone boy but rather saying "golly, you sure are stupid".
On the other hand I have referred to others as fat, pasty, diabetic, pansy and a litany of other names (all of which you may apply to yourself if you so desire) but not boy.
I'm quite happy with my accomplishments, and quite content. If I wasn't I would probably go around blaming everyone else for my problems. You know like the government, blacks, homosexuals, single mothers. You know all the stuff you complain about.
You say I may be a hit with the teenage liberal girls. Obviously you've been admiring my picture (which I took several days ago just for this site). While I'm flattered that you think teenage girls like me, I am 40 so I wouldn't know. I suppose you speak for teenage girls which tells me something about you (freudian slip anyone?).
You say you look forward to fighting me in the streets when the fecal matter hits the fan.
No you don't. If you don't beleive anything else I say beleive this, I am your greater both intellectually and physically.
Submit to your superior.
Did you put that picture of some guy next to your posts so we actually think you're a male???? Your prose always leaves me thinking it was written by a catty woman during that special time of the month.
No I didn't put my picture up to prove I was a man, I put it up to prove that I'm more man than you.
I have to say though, I'm not shocked to hear such chauvinist remarks from a Republican. But since you went there, should we assume it's always Sarah Palin's special time of the month? you betcha!
Now, go out and find a picture of a real man and put it up as your picture. Because we both know you're not gonna post your fat sorry a*s on here. I have some extra pictures of me if you would like to rent them.
You can always tell how intelligent someone is when they make it a point to tell everyone how smart and free thinking they are. Then, to make sure everyone has no doubt who is the genius, said genius will call everyone that has a different opinion names and tell them they are stupid. We get it....Jon is the most intelligent person in this joint.
Ahh, your stupid but teachable. There's hope yet.
Haven't I dressed you down several times already? boy, you're a glutton for punishment!
P.S. I never said I was smarter than anyone (your freudian slip is showing, pull your skirt back down). I'm here to chastize and punish you pansies. I figure since I can't get my hands on Dick Cheney's fat sloppy war profiteering a*s, I might as well verbally abuse his sycophants.
Kool-aid sucker, I mean Mudskipper,
Of course, why wouldn't it be people. After all no one could accuse the banks of malfeasance with their interest - only pyramid scheme, or their re packaging of sub - prime mortgages. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were designed to help the people on the margines. They had jobs but perhaps had credit issues. It was the banking industry that found by shuffling some paperwork, and moving some numbers they could make a huge profit from loaning to people who didn't qualify.
What's more, we bled off millions of jobs to Mexico and China, we saw massive layoffs for tech workers only to see these same companies import HS1B visa workers from India for a fraction of the pay. Lay off millions of americans, and stagnate the wages of the rest and you're going to have a mortgage crisis. Has it occurred to you that massive credit card defaults happened at the same time? Those had nothing to do with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Next, let's talk about unionized workers and how they destroyed the auto industry. No doubt you've ate that pablum as well.
If you're going to be a corporate spokesperson, get a paycheck for it.
